This meat shop also doubles as a restaurant that sells top of the line Wagyu A5 beef at prices cheaper than in Japan. Its location is obscure, an area that people wouldn’t even think of to eat. But because of its delicious dishes it serves, it has quickly become a popular spot among a select few. It’s the type of restaurant you’d want to keep to yourself and close friends for plain selfish reasons. 

Wagyu A5 beef is the best of the best in terms of color, texture, brightness, color of the fat and marbling of the beef. Basically it has the highest grade that prized piece can get. It even has a bar code that traces its ancestry. The beef is imported by the block every two weeks.

On the menu is wagyu that’s prepared many ways: seared, steamed, boiled and grilled. We try them all.

Wagyu Japanese Beef, G-20 Sunvar Plaza Building, 156 Amorsolo Street cor A. Arnaiz Avenue, Legazpi Village, Makati; +63 2 8089508. Daily 10am-10pm.
